Chances of Prestigous University

That is a complete fallacy. I did law A-Level and was offered a place at 6 top unis (including Cambridge). I'd heard similar comments and actually made a point of asking admissions before applying. I'd actually recommend studying law A-level because it means you aren't thrown in at the deep end when you start your degree.

Fairplay to you. I do however expect that in addition to Law, you had (at least) 3 other traditional a levels. Respect anyhow.

@ the orignial poster, if you get AAAB at AS, a good lnat score and write a good personal statement, there is no reason why any of the unis you listed won't take you. All the london unis will also look at you though lse will frown on the gcse's cos they absolutely fawn on gcse results. and oxbridge would be worth a try to.

@ the person who sed AAAC is better than AAA, this is untrue
Unis know that a lot of people are restricted to doing 3 A-levels so in the end, if they see AAA, they know that's the best that thye could have doen. AAAC is by no means bad but the top unis will note that you didnt do consistently well across your subjects



hope this helps

Yes, that's what i meant, they really don't care, in fact they may find your C a little strange amongst all those A's. My advice would be three A-levels, and you can spend the time you would have spent revising english lang on your other subjects, to ensure you do your best.

i had my heart set on doing law at university because i want to be a solicitor, but having read some threads on this same subject, it seems like law is such an incredibly competitive subject and im starting to wonder whether id be better off doing something less competitive (probably either maths or economics) and then doing a conversion after the degree. what do you think?

Law has always being competitive. But if your grades are good, it is possible that you will still make it into a good uni regardless of the fierce competition. Doing a conversion course will probably spare you the intense competition, but it is a waste of time and money IMO.
